About the Artist

This CD is better than chocolate! It has a sensuous feel, it warms you up inside, and it doesn’t pack any calories!

But don’t take our word for it; simply listen to the sample tracks! The songs are beautiful, the voices are intense, and the quintet is first-rate. Singers Leon Palad & Kilo Muñoz pack a lot of punch when they get together to create this very enjoyable tango experience. They start by putting together a list of definitive tango classics. Next, they assemble a quintet with great pizzazz and sense of style. Then, they sing the songs, as they are, neither laying it on too thick, nor relying on vocal gimmicks. The result is pure tango!

Each song has a very satisfying feel. In every instance, the vocalists are able to convey many shades of longing, despair, and sensuality. Essential Tango is fundamentally a vocal album, play it over a glass of wine, when you cuddle with your honey, or better yet, play it next to a box of chocolate truffles!

Product Description

Essential Tango delivers a fascinating selection of classic tango-songs. With their fresh vocal style, vocalists Leon Palad & Kilo Muñoz gratify the listener with melody and old-world cool. Their polished sound is matched by a traditional tango quintet (piano, violin, contrabass, guitar, bandoneon). This album proves tango is the sexiest music in the planet.

This review is from: Essential Tango (Audio CD)

Unfortunately, this music sounds a great deal far away from the Buenos Aires of Carlos Gardel !

This is a light-weight recording of some famous 'Tangachos', well known to every tango-lover.

I regret that they did not capture the Spirit of the Real
tango !
